Abstract: Objective To investigate the clinical features of primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Methods This study included 32 patients suffering from PACG combined with RP hospitalized in Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University from April 2013 to April 2017, and 229 PACG patients without RP hospitalized in the same period.According to the type of glaucoma, patients were divided into 4 groups, 12 patients in acute angle closure glaucoma with RP group (AACG-RP), 20 patients in chronic angle closure glaucoma with RP group (CACG-RP), 94 patients in AACG-non RP group and 135 patients in CACG-non RP group.The age of onset and axial length (AL) were compared among these four groups. Results Mean age of onset was (39.00±12.07) years in AACG-RP group, (43.85±12.79) years in CACG-RP group, (66.44±9.40) years in AACG-non RP group and (63.95±10.42) years in CACG-non RP group.The difference between the four groups was statistically significant (F=47.70,P<0.05).The mean AL was (21.31±1.37) mm in AACG-RP group, (22.33±1.09) mm in CACG-RP group, (22.31±1.03) mm in AACG-non RP group and (22.47±1.01) mm in CACG-non RP group.The difference between the four groups was statistically significant (F=19.09,P<0.05). Conclusions In PACG patients combined with RP, AACG patients had earlier age of onset and shorter AL than CACG patients. PACG patients combined with RP had earlier age of onset and shorter AL than those without RP, especially those with AACG combined with RP.
